erence point, i. e., if a region is assigned to the beat posi-

tion 14 1 1 1, this anchor will be positioned on the 14 1 1 1

beat. Although this point will always be at the beginning of

newly recorded regions, it does not necessarily have to be

placed there. An up-beat syllable, or the breathing-in of the

singer prior to the first syllable can sound before the an-

chor, which is quantized on a time grid. Caution: moving

the anchor will also change the arrangement’s timing ref-

erence.

Audio Recording

Setting the Recording Path

Prior to the first recording, you must define a hard disk

and a folder for storing the audio files created during re-

cording. In the Audio window, select Audio File > Set Au-

dio Record Path. Use the File Selection box to create a

folder with the name of the song. This folder will hold the

created audio files.

It is generally best to preselect the maximum recording

time as it allows MAGIX midi studio generation 6 to pre-

map the location on the hard drive to which the files will

be recorded 1. If the final recording is shorter than the se-

lected time, the reserved storage space will automatically

be freed up again. However, for various reasons it is not

advisable to preselect a significantly longer recording time

than necessary. Click on the Set button to define a hard

disk and a folder in which the audio files shall be stored 2.

Recording in the Arrange Window

The Default Song, which opens when MAGIX midi studio

generation 6 starts, contains some audio tracks. “Audio

tracks” are simply tracks on which an Audio Object has

been assigned. To assign an audio object to a new track,

point to a track name and hold the mouse button de-

pressed. In the flip-down menu select an Audio Object.

The audio object symbolizes a channel of the track mixer

with the same number.
